Despite the U.S. Supreme Court ruling in 2023 that schools cannot use racial preferences in its admissions process, Harvard University’s medical school continues to discriminate against its applicants, according to a Wednesday complaint.
America First Legal (AFL) filed a civil rights complaint with the Department of Justice detailing a “calculated effort” from Harvard Medical School to continue race-based admissions while appearing to comply with federal law. The complaint, which includes evidence of sex-based preferences as well, notes that Harvard continues to do this because of its dedication to diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) ideology.
“This is not only illegal, it is unethical. By using new labels to sustain the same discriminatory system and elevating identity over individual merit, Harvard is turning the training of physicians into a vehicle for demographic engineering and social activism,” AFL counsel Megan Redshaw told The Federalist. “The American people deserve physicians chosen for skill and competency — not because they checked the right diversity box.”
